Chapter 1445: Is Xia Ruya Dead Or Alive?

After Ning Shuqian got the news that Xia Ruya was involved in an accident, sent to the hospital and that it was unknown if she would make it through, she rushed to the hospital.

When she reached the hospital, Xia Ruya was already being treated in the emergency ward. Thus, at this point, she wasn’t sure how badly injured was Xia Ruya after the accident. However, she gathered that Xia Ruya’s injuries must have been very bad and even life-threatening.

Torrential waves arose in Ning Shuqian’s heart and she was extremely shaken. After getting over the shock, she felt fearful and uneasy. Thinking about how Xia Ruya was lying in the emergency ward with her life at stake, she was on the verge of losing it.

The media, Internet, and the police’s initial verification was that Xia Ruya’s car crash was an accident. However, she knew very well in her heart that this incident wasn’t any accident—it was obviously Wen Xinya’s act of revenge.

Because they struck and targeted Old Mr. Mo, so Wen Xinya took action to deal with them!

Such a swift action totally didn’t give them any chance to breathe!

Such a cruel and ruthless modus operandi unquestionably wanted to take their lives!

She recalled how, when Old Mr. Mo was dangerously ill, he had been in the emergency ward for seven hours before his condition stabilized.

Now, Xia Ruya was similarly laying in the emergency room and it was unknown if she was still alive or dead.

Whenever Ning Shuqian thought about the frightening image in the online reports regarding Xia Ruya’s car accident, she couldn’t help but be stuck with fear and shake uncontrollably. A chill ran down her spine, into her heart, making her heart feel cold and her chest ache as if she was about to suffocate.

At this point, she was already feeling extremely regretful. She should have known that with Old Mr. Mo’s identity, status, and reputation, they wouldn’t be able to deal with him. Even if this time, that person were to participate and aid them, this plan would ultimately still fail.

She should have expected that if the plan to deal with Old Mr. Mo couldn’t succeed in the first instance, there would be endless repercussions. Now that Old Mr. Mo’s condition had stabilized, this plan had failed terribly, and they were going to face Wen Xinya’s mad revenge.

Both she and Xia Ruya wouldn’t be spared.

Now it was Xia Ruya, and she was up next!

She totally wouldn’t believe that Wen Xinya would let her off.

After battling Wen Xinya for so many years, she knew Wen Xinya’s vengeful character better than anyone else. Once Wen Xinya got the chance, she would send her to hell.

If it were merely Wen Xinya, she wouldn’t have been afraid. Her real concern was the person behind Wen Xinya, the mastermind behind the Jiayuan Club. Even that person daren’t offend him easily. Their plans had always evaded him and they had even given up the plan to get rid of Wen Xinya due to him.

Of course, there was still the complicated networks behind Old Mr. Mo—that was the scariest part!

If some character that they couldn’t afford to offend were to be embroiled in this, they’d be done for!

Ning Shuqian felt extremely terrified as she sat alone on the long bench along the hospital’s hallway, her hands gripping tightly onto her handbag, clenching her fingers into tight, pale fists, her gorgeous face changing unpredictably from green, pale, purple, black, and even to a fearful, twisted expression.

Following Xia Ruya’s car crash, she didn’t know what awaited them.

The less she knew, the greater she feared.

“Ring—” a dull bell sounded, imploded Ning Shuqian’s tumultuous brain. Ning Shuqian was instantly shocked and almost jumped from her seat.

Just then, the operation room’s door opened. A nurse hurried out from the emergency ward, in such a rush that she seemed to not notice Ning Shuqian who was right in front of the emergency ward.

Ning Shuqian hurriedly said, “Nurse, I’m a friend of the injured. May I know what’s her condition?”

Ning Shuqian knew that Xia Ruya must have sustained heavy injuries from the car crash this time and that she wouldn’t be in great shape. She was afraid that she would be in a critical condition.

Indeed, the nurse looked extremely solemn. “The injured has sustained 40% burns on her face and up to 70% on her body which is considered as seriously burnt. The medical staff is currently trying their best, but as the injured’s injuries are too serious, things aren’t looking optimistic, and we aren’t sure for the time being if we can save her life.”

During the explosion, although the injured wasn’t at the center of the explosion site, as she had been very close, she had suffered the heatwave of the explosion. The heatwave was up to a thousand degrees during the explosion and burnt up to 70% of the injured’s skin. Under this circumstance, the fact that the patient didn’t die on the spot and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment was already a miracle.

Ning Shuqian gasped as she couldn’t help but feel dizzy. “You… you’re saying that the injured… is in critical condition, and most likely won’t survive? Even if she does, wouldn’t she… be disfigured…”

At this point, Ning Shuqian was already extremely stunned and couldn’t even speak properly. Although she had already guessed that Xia Ruya had sustained extremely serious injuries from this car accident, she still didn’t expect her to not only be in a critical condition but also sustained 50% burns on her face and up to 70% burns on her body.

Now, Xia Ruya was disfigured from head to toe!

This was too terrifying!

Ning Shuqian couldn’t help but start shaking.

The nurse nodded with a solemn expression. “Under this circumstance, we aren’t sure if she’ll survive.”

How weird to think about disfiguration—even if she was saved now, whether she would survive would still depend on the condition of the patient’s body. The patient was still in critical condition.

Ning Shuqian widened her eyes in disbelief. “If… she can survive, will she still be able to recover from her injuries after treatment?”

At this point, Ning Shuqian was already completely shocked by the extent of Xia Ruya’s injuries.

She thought about how Xia Ruya had always been the proudest about her looks and her rose-like, tender, and beautiful skin. Now, everything was lost in this car accident. This was even more frightening than killing her.

Based on Xia Ruya’s vanity, she definitely wouldn’t be able to accept it.

The nurse shook her head apologetically. “Too much of the injured’s body has suffered rather serious burns. I’m afraid there’s no chance of recovery. The only way is to wait for her to recover and do all sorts of major plastic and recovery surgeries.”

Major plastic and all sorts of recovery surgeries were scary to any patient. She had seen more than a couple of patients who, because of such a situation, went bonkers, lost control of their minds, committed suicide, and all sorts of behaviors.

With trembling lips and a dry, hoarse voice with a tinge of fear, Ning Shuqian said, “Plastic surgery!!”

Ning Shuqian couldn’t help but feel cold in her heart.
